You're right that dd just moves data. But the fact that by merely moving
data it creates what appears to DOS to be a 720k file system that it can
read and navigate correctly demonstrates that it's not a hardware
problem.

The dd program doesn't care what the input or output is, it just moves
the data. The DOS program is aborting because you're trying to stuff
a 720k disk image on to 1.44M media - the software is smart enough to
know that you can't do that.
Get a 720k disk.
